I became fimilar with author James Van Praagh by taking his first book, Talking to Heaven, out of the library. Many a time, I am LED to a book, and this was one of the times. That book had such a deep inpact on me, that I obtained Reaching To Heaven as soon as I heard about it.
Reaching To Heaven picks up where Talking To Heaven left off. This book, in some ways, is even better than his first because it probes the spiritual realm even deeper.
Since Mr. Van Praagh is a mediumist, there are still accounts of his readings. These accounts are wonderful and moving, indeed. On top of that, he explains the different "bodies of man", the different planes of the after-life, the death experience, and touches upon the notion of karma and how our thoughts are more important than we think.
I know, today in society, many people may wonder how James Van Praagh has such information, being he never even had a near-death experience. He does talk to the spiritual world, and whether we want to believe such a world exists or not is up to each individual. However, I do believe if more of us had a open mind, we'd allow more miracles to enter into our lives. We, as humans, don't know everything and cannot measure everything in a laboratory. That is part of the mystery of life. James Van Praagh is just one of the many "messengers" that are showing us where to peek beneath the veil. Maybe it's time for us to receive more information as a society, when the world needs it the most.
So, with Reaching to Heaven, we're uplifted, inspired, comforted, and touched. Little did I know, when I had ordered this book, my gradfather had just died, and a pet of 19 years and my godmother had followed shortly thereafter. Having this book was like a blanket on a cold day. For that, I appraise James Van Praagh and his work.

I have read many books on mediumship and spirituality. After reading Talking to Heaven, I was convinced that there is no death, and that indeed spirits and my loved ones are very close. Because of the effect the book had on my outlook of life and people I gave it to my 13 year old daughter to read for a book report. She came to me two days later and said she couldn't stop reading it, that it was making her look at life differently. When I was at the book store and saw Reaching to Heaven, it was God sent. I read it in two days and believe that it is a stepping stone from the first in terms of teachings from spirits. Reaching to Heaven provided such clarity about the spirit world and what it is like when you leave your physical body. It is truely a book written from spirits wanting so desparetly to be heard. Thank-you.

I think that this book is a fantastic piece of work published. It is detailed and contains amazing truths. It is one that I highly reccommend for any one in any given age group. Good-luck to the super writer and may god continue to give him the grace and inspiration to lavish us with more publications!
